    Funny how my posts get ranked (-1, Troll) five times as often when I throw the "Esq." at the end of my name.

    Seriously, why is it funny? Slashdot strives to be a classless society. By announcing your "title" with every post, your actions are antithetical to this sentiment.

    Quite simply, people think you're a pretentious asshole when you declare this so-called title in an essentially anonymous forum. The only possible reason you'd do this is for attention. What is the great motivator behind every troll? Attention.

    Ergo, you are a troll.
